I still cannot believe I am about to tell you this story. What has gotten into me? I seem to have lost my inhibitions. Could it be the can of coke I just downed? Anyway, Mr. T was my first. Before him, I had never done it with anyone else. Of course, I always thought about it; always wondered when I would be bold enough to make that move, always wondered how, where, when, and with whom. I did not consciously decide that Mr. T would be my first though; it just happened unexpectedly. One of those moments, I guess.
I cannot really remember the exact date (which is weird cause gals usually remember such things), but I know it was sometime in April or May of 2005. Mr. T and I had been hanging out a lot, not quite dating yet (at least not to my knowledge). We spent a lotta time in Uju’s house; we had a ritual of hanging out every Friday night, and some nights, we slept in Uju’s house (that was our hangout spot). There was nothing going on between us though – no pecking, kissing, or anything more than that even. The most we did was hug. Until the morning it happened.
At the risk of making his head swell, I would say he was a very patient guy. He never pushed for anything. Once I said no, he let it go. But that morning was different – not because he asked for anything, but because I willingly gave it to him, and he was pleasantly surprised. I had woken up that Saturday morning in Uju’s house as usual. I brushed my teeth with the toothbrush I permanently kept @ Uju’s house while Mr. was still sleeping. After brushing my teeth, I woke him up and asked him to meet me in the bathroom. And that was where it happened…
…I gave him my toothbrush!! The moment was surreal, almost unbelieveable. I, Vera, first and only daughter of my father, I shared my toothbrush!! Can you believe this? He didn’t ask for it; I willingly gave it to him. And it was not a toothbrush I was intending to throw away o! It was a perfectly good toothbrush. Sure, I don’t use it all the time, but still, it was a perfectly good toothbrush.
Kitu Kizuri is finally out and about. Those that have received their copies had nothing but good words 2 say about it. It’s not late to subscribe, so you can also get the first issue. It’s a GREAT read, and I would recommend it to all Africans – men and women alike. And it is not expensive either, so you cannot say money is the problem. Check www.kitukizuri.com for more details, please.

You silly gal!!!!!!!! I have no qualms sharing anything, dunno why. Try using London Bukis fork and watch her vomii.
I want Mr Robin tooooo! I have to know wht the hype is about.
Vera,you are such a tease! I was intrigued until I scrolled down but I guess that was the point… I have never willingly shared my toothbrush with anyone except that one time when my sister gave my cousin Roop my toothbrush to use- I should have known something was wrong-the taste was way off-and besides she was laughing hilariously on the floor. So no way will I ever let someone use my toothbrush…
Just Me: LOL. You bloggers all have dirty minds o! See them, waiting for hot stuff. LOL. Una no serious @ all.
Tayo: I bet you too were expecting something else ehn? LOL
TMinx: you have no qualms sharing anything? Yuck! LOL. Me, I do oh. I’d really rather not share ANYTHING, but I share my stuff with friends sha. Somethings r just way off limit jo. That toothbrush sharing thing was a giant leap of faith for me; never been done b4.
Simply Gorgeous: LOL. The taste was off ke? Hahaha. Pele o. Ewwww. I cannot imagine the taste of the toothbrush. Was it that bad that you actually noticed a different taste? LOL. Sorry sha. That musta screwed up your functionality. I dunno how I’d feel about that
Sharing a toothbrush is a big thing. I remember my first time…
?the blogger formerly known as Tinks

Anonymous: You remember your first time doing? Are we still talking about the toothbrush kini? Confess!!
Jaycee: lol. Yes babe, you did say awesome. So even if you change ur mind now, the fact is that the deed has already been done. The words have already been spoken, so cannot be taken back.
